Hi! WEll, I figured I would O around august 3. Yesterday, I had this really annoying stitch on my left side, kind-of like an O pain except it lasted all day long and got to the point that even if it was O I was in no mood to BD:(.Also, this is my first cycle of the BCP and I haven't been charting so this was just a guess for my O date. Cm is not EW just creamy and not stretchy. Do you think this could be a pg sign or that this was O and I missed it?:(...also have been moody like AF is coming. Any insight would be appreciated. TIA

Julie,

This is just my 2 cents and I am not a professional by any means. I was on Depo- Provera and the first 3 months off of it, I had the same exact "stitch" pain you are describing. Mine would come and go all through the month. My cycle was also out of whack those months. (17, 33, 15) My GYN did do an U/S to make sure there were not any cysts on my ovaries that could be causing the pain, which is common after stopping Depo. Not really sure if it common with BCP. After he ruled out cysts he explained to me that the pain from my ovaries was due to being on Depo. He said while on Depo my ovaries were "sleeping" just like they do when on BCP. Now my ovaries were "trying to awaken" and I might experience some discomfort. By the fourth month, the "discomfort" was gone and my cycles were back to normal.

You might want to call your GYN and ask, just to be on the safe side. But, it is probably just your ovaries trying to kick back in after being on "vacation" while on BCP.

Hope this helps.

Logan,

Thanks for replying. It makes sense to me. Of course if it continues I'll give my Gyn a call, I have had a cyst on my left side before, but haven't had any problems in years!!! Last time I got off the pill I got preg with my son right away so I really am not to familiar with what happens when you stop. Thanks a lot!!!
